Chapter 135: Eat as Much as You Can

"steal?"

Jiang Youning's eyelids twitched.

"Ah, you know my father searched you, but I have stolen more than once or twice and have never been caught. Don't worry and let your little maid make you a drink."

Chu Lange smiled indifferently and added: "What you have to do is to drink them all up as soon as possible to destroy all traces. Even if the emperor finds out that something is missing from his private vault one day, he won't be able to find it back even if he wants to."

"You are really filial, but I lack gold in my five elements. Next time you want to comfort me, remember to give me some hard currency. Those things are a great supplement to me."

Jiang Youning gave Chu Lange a thumbs up.

But the things had been delivered, and she realized that she wasn't the one to be beaten, so there was no reason for her to refuse.

"I know, so I brought you some of the money I earned these past two days."

Chu Lange waved his hand heroically, and Yuan Ye came over holding a small box.

There was a small box of silver ingots inside. It wasn't a lot, but it looked like there were at least a few hundred taels.

"As expected of my best friend, Lan Gege, you are so loyal."

Jiang Youning would never complain about having too little money. She immediately hugged Chu Lange's arm and rubbed it, feeling extremely happy.

“That’s it!”

Chu Lange nodded proudly, then grabbed Jiang Youning's arm, with impatience in his eyes again.

"By the way, I have already bought the location for the beauty salon you mentioned. You can come with me to take a look and come with me to the palace as soon as possible.

You haven't been there for a while, and your mother has been missing you and that short-legged kid."

“Is it so efficient?”

Jiang Youning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Ah, so pack up and follow me!"

~~~

After a moment.

Jiang Youning was pulled out of the carriage by Chu Lange.

Also coming down with them was little Monkey King, who finally breathed the fresh air of the outside world again after many days.

Little Wukong obediently grabbed Jiang Youning's sleeve and looked around, breathing in the air of freedom deeply, his eyes couldn't help but turn red with excitement.

After looking at the destination, Jiang Youning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"You... took over Zuichunlou?"

"Ah, the remaining property of Duke Zhen's family was confiscated, so I begged my father for the title deed to Zuichunlou.

How is it? Does this place live up to your description of being well connected and crowded with people? "

Chu Lange took Jiang Youning in for a tour.

Zuichunlou was closed after being raided. During this period, many people had their eyes on the land where Zuichunlou was located, but the title deed was in the hands of the royal family. If they wanted to buy it from the emperor, they would have to pay a lot of money. In the end, everyone had to give up the idea.

Jiang Youning looked around and smiled.

"This Zuichunlou is indeed nice. Duke Zhen's family spent a lot of money on it, and the decoration is gorgeous enough. When the time comes, we only need to modify some parts.

I will go back tomorrow and talk to the craftsmen about how to make changes so that we can start business earlier."

"What are you going to change? It's better to do it today than tomorrow. Just let them make the arrangements now!"

As he spoke, Chu Lange clapped his hands.

A wave of people in official uniforms rushed in instantly, and Jiang Youning's eyes widened.

In other words, the people in the Ministry of Works were quite miserable. They had to eat a public meal and do extra odd jobs for Princess Yongning.

It's pitiful, but it's not her that the people from the Ministry of Industry are cursing behind her back.

Jiang Youning then bowed to all the workers in the Ministry of Works and began to assign tasks to them: "My Lords, we must first renovate the lobby..."

There was a burst of noise, and after the workers from the Ministry of Works who were usually responsible for repairing the palace nodded as if they understood, several people entered the palace.

It should be said or not.

The people who eat royal meals are still very efficient. The appearance of this excavated palace has now been almost restored to its original state.

When they saw Cui Zhaoan again, Cui Zhaoan was so excited that he directly set a table of exquisite dishes for the two of them.

"Ningning, you and Xiao Wukong should eat more. I specially asked Chef Yu to make these. You two...try to eat as much as possible."

Cui Zhaoan greeted the two people warmly, speaking in a somewhat tactful manner.

"But, Your Majesty, now that we have eaten our fill here, won't we be able to use the food for the evening banquet?"

Cui Zhaoan had a gentle personality, so Little Wukong asked without hesitation.

Cui Zhaoan smiled and touched his head, which had grown some hair, but he didn't say anything.

"You two should eat more, and then you will know why."

When saying this, Cui Zhaoan gave Chu Lange a reproachful look, but finally turned into helplessness.

Jiang Youning was born with one advantage, which is that she listens to advice.

The dishes the Queen served were no less delicious than those she had had at her last birthday banquet. A dinner party would not be higher than this in standard, so naturally she would not complain.

However.

Looking around, Jiang Youning frowned imperceptibly.

[It's so strange, I always feel that the Queen's place is different from the last time I came, but I can't seem to put my finger on what's different? ]

[However...I feel much more comfortable now, and the Queen's smile seems to be brighter than before.]
